I Love the Wizard of Oz
This is my favorite movie of all time! I have always Loved it, and I especially enjoy now that I can watch it with my children, they love it too (I watch their reactions--experiencing it for the 1st time and it's amazing--love it). My 2-year old calls it the "rainbow movie". We had to get all of the toys when they were recently giving them away at McDonalds (2 sets of course, one for me, one for them). I fulfilled a lifelong dream (am I silly?) by going to the Smithsonian and seeing the real ruby slippers (one of the pairs) in real life. I collect all kinds of memoriabilla from the show (all of those Barbies are stinkin' cute!), and I still cry at the end (every time) when Dorthy says "There's no place like home!" "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" remains to be one of my most favorite songs, of all time. I LOVE this movie! The Wizard of Oz:"The Heart is not Judged
by how much you love, but by how much you are loved by others"
Dorothy: Somewhere Over The Rainbow, Bluebirds fly. Birds fly Over The Rainbow. Why then, oh why can't I? If happy little bluebirds fly beyond the rainbow, why oh why cant I?
Scarecrow: I'm not afraid of her! I'll see you get safely to the Wizard now, whether I get a brain or not. Stuff a mattress with me. Ha!
Tin Woodsman: I'll see you reach the Wizard, whether I get a heart or not. Beehive, bah! Let her try and make a beehive out of me!
Dorothy: Oh, you're the best friends anybody ever had. And it's funny, but I feel as if I'd known you all the time, but I couldn't have, could I?
Scarecrow: I don't see how. You weren't around when I was stuffed and sewn together, were you?
Tin Woodsman: And I was standing over there, rusting for the longest time.
Dorothy: Still, I wish I could remember, but I guess it doesn't matter anyway. We know each other now, don't we?
Scarecrow: That's right.
Tin Woodsman: We do.
Scarecrow: To Oz?
Tin Woodsman: To Oz.
